The Agency for InternationaZ Development (AID) is part of the State Department. It is an instrument for US domination and control throughout the
world, not a charitable agency. Its work is directed by Henry Kissinger.
This year, AID dispensed $450 million to the Saigon regime, through its
so-called non-military programs. This money was not used to improve the lives
of the people of Vietnam, but instead financed programs to keep the Thieu
regime in power, to subsidize the Saigon economy, and to help Thieu occupy
additional territory.
For example:
— Food and goods provided by the US "Food for Peace" program are seized by
the Saigon regime and resold at astronomical prices. These profits are converted to military use or used to enrich corrupt officials. Food for Peace
is actually Food for War.
— "Reconstruction and Development" money is used to build and maintain concentration camps called "resettlement camps" where refugees are held and prevented from returning to their villages in liberated territory.
— The Office for Public Safety (OPS) division of AID was responsible for designing and building the South Vietnamese prison system, and brings Saigon
police and prison guards to the US for training.
— In addition, AID is used as a cover for CIA agents and military personnel,
whose presence in South Vietnam is expressly prohibited by the Paris Peace
Agreement.
The Department of Defense runs the wars waged by the US government and
is the enforcer of US power and domination around the world. The Defense Department used to be called the War Department. Its headquarters are in the
Pentagon and it is the largest agency of the US government. While Americans
are being asked to "bite the bullet" of inflation, and funding for most social
service programs are being cut, the War Department's budget this year will
reach almost $100 billion.
The War Department's Defense Supply Agency is the link between the Department and the big defense contractors. It oversees and administers war
contracts for supplies, weapons, ammunition, etc. The Defense Supply Agency
office in Oakland, California administers millions of dollars of war contracts,
including contracts for the new $100 million B-l bomber program.
Recently, Secretary of War Scheslinger threatened further US intervention
in Vietnam if Thieu's position continued to deteriorate. The Ford administration is asking for an additional war budget of $550 million of military aid
for Thieu and Lon Nol.
